This is a book about metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients and intended for MBC patients. Their physician often tells newly diagnosed MBC patients of the poor prognosis. In this internet age, this air of pessimism is reinforced, hence the need for a more optimistic counterbalance. This book was specifically written to provide this counterbalance. Doctors and publications deal largely with statistics, yet no individual is a statistic, and many exceptions to the norm exist. This book is about these exceptional patients and aims to serve as an inspiration to newly diagnosed patients with MBC who are looking for a ray of hope after receiving a diagnosis, which, at that moment, seems so devastating.
